Wheat Gluten / Pliva 648

I suffer from coeliac disease (aversion to wheat gluten); does your Pliva 648 fluoxetine hcl 20 mg contain wheat gluten?

Thank you

I just sent an email to Teva Pharm (the manufacturer of this pill); asking whether or not it contains wheat gluten as a part of the inactive ingredients.

I tried looking up the inactive ingredients on their webpage, but couldn't find any related info, so emailing them was the next best option. I'll be sure to post their reply in this thread!

Hi Ms Sabra,

Below is an email response from Teva Pharmaceuticals, regarding gluten in this pill:

"This email is in response to your request for information about Fluoxetine Capsules, 20 mg manufactured for Teva Pharmaceuticals USA. You asked if this product is gluten free.

Gluten is a protein contained in starch. The gluten affecting Celiac patients is contained in the starches of wheat, rye, oats, or barley. Fluoxetine Capsules, 20 mg contains corn starch and therefore, to the best of our knowledge is gluten free.

I hope this information is of help to you. Thank you for your interest in Teva Pharmaceuticals USA.

Sincerely,
